Crillion
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Crillion is similar to Breakout except there is no paddle and the player controls the ball directly. The ball always bounces up and down and the player only controls its horizontal movement. When the ball hits a block of the same color it will dissolve. The ball can change color when hitting a color changer blocks, marked with an asterisk. The object of the game is to clear all blocks while avoiding the skull blocks.

When the player hits a skull block, a life is lost and the level restarts, resetting any progress made so far in that level. There also are unbreakable walls and slider blocks. The slider blocks can only be moved around when the ball has the same color.

Wall - Here the ball bounces off. 
Ball - The constantly hopping ball. 
Block - If the ball touches a block of the same colour it will dissolve. 

Colour changer - When touching it, the ball picks up its colour. 

Slider - If the ball touches a slider of the same colour, it will be moved one field further. 

Skull - Every touch costs a life.
